Starter & Ignition FAQs

How long do ignition starters last?

Typically, the starter in your vehicle can last between 100,000 and 150,000 miles. With diligent maintenance, you might extend its lifespan even further. It's important to recognize early signs of wear to keep your starter in optimal condition for as long as possible.

Are the ignition and starter the same thing?

The starter motor, located near the transmission on the passenger side, is crucial for starting the engine, using the battery's power to turn the engine. The ignition switch, found on the steering column, signals the starter motor to activate.

Can a bad starter drain a battery?

If a starter motor is failing, it may draw excessive current, which can strain and eventually drain the battery, especially if the vehicle struggles to start.

What makes a starter go bad?

Poor electrical connections, often due to looseness or corrosion, are common culprits behind starter issues. Internally, worn components like the motor's windings or brushes can also fail, reducing the starter's ability to crank the engine.

Do I need a new key if I replace the ignition switch?

For older vehicles, you might continue using the existing key when replacing the ignition switch. However, modern cars with advanced security features usually require a new key to ensure the system remains secure and functions correctly.
